Customer Question

Recently, and despite other things...

Recently, and despite other things happening in my life, and my PTSD, I am finding it harder and harder to not feel hateful towards others. I understand some of my resentment, and my therapist is working with me on not thinking so black/white. But I'm having a real issue with coming to grips with people who are hateful, bigoted, and violent. I'm having a real hard time with people who make excuses for these people, as well. I'm feeling more and more angry, and I'm not a hateful person - but I'm becoming so, because there is so much stupidity and hatred in the world. I hate "haters". I really have no patience with them, and sometimes they are even people I know, or care about, who go on with their racist and sexist comments, and so forth. How can I not turn into them? By hating them and their behaviour I am becoming like they are. I'm truly afraid of becoming that way. I don't want to be hateful. I just want people to stop hurting others, and realize that their words and behaviour hurt others. I know what it's like to be hurt. I don't want others hurting people, and I don't want to be hateful, even to those who are doing the hurting - but I can't think of this in not black/white terms. Racists, sexists, child molesters, rapists, all these people that hurt others... I hate them. This hatred is eating me up. How do I stop it?

Please note that anything said here is not private or confidential, as this is a public forum.Hello, I am sorry that you are having this issue with hatred, I can understand how distressing this can possibly be for you. I would like to ask you a few questions to get a better idea of your situation, so that I can better assist you.1. For how long have you been in therapy and what type of therapy are you undergoing (e.g. CBT, DBT, Mindfulness, Psychoanalysis, etc…)?2. For how long have you had this overwhelming feeling of hate for people that do wrong in the world?3. And why do you think you are going to turn into these people as your hate is more directed against prejudice and wrong? Also what do you feel you contribute to help lessen hate in your own life and in the world in general (e.g. being nice, volunteering, etc…)?

I will tell you that...the things you have to go through to be an Expert are quite rigorous.

I can go as far as to say it could have resulted in saving my sons life and our entire family now knows what bipolar is and how to assist and understand my most wonderful son, brother and friend to all who loves him dearly.
Thank you very much

Thank you to the Physician who answered my question today. The answer was far more informative than what I got from the Physicians I saw in person for my problem.

You have been more help than you know. I seriously don't know what my sisters situation would be today if you had not gone above and beyond just answering my questions.

ive been developing a really weird sense of anxiousness around people, large crowds, and especially when speaking alone in school and at work. This has never been an issue for me. I have had a very difficult time sleeping, and thus feel tired all day.

Some stress factors recently include car accident that totaled my car, Grad school is insane and jumped into it 2 days after undergrad … read more
